Artist, American, 1879 - 1964

The image shows a riverside view where the viewer is near the water. The horizon is not visible, but suggested by rooftops and a bridge stretching across the center. On the other side of the river are tall buildings with detailed facades. The bridge is portrayed with intricate details like windows and chimneys in a precise, classic etching style reminiscent of early 20th-century art. The color scheme is black and white. Closest to the viewer are boats and a figure fishing. In the background, more buildings and chimneys add depth to the scene. A tree on the right edge frames the composition.
